Book III   Proposition 7
So let ABCD be a circle and AD a diameter of it; on AD let a point F be taken which is not the center of the circle, and from F let the straight lines FB, FC, FG fall upon the circle;

therefore FA is greatest, FD is least, and FB is greater than FC and FC than FG.

Being what it was required to prove.
